Grace Watcher Report - Understanding the Liberal Mindset

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
On my channel, I strive to seek the truth. I
strive to seek an understanding why people do what they do,
why they believe what they believe, and we frequently discuss
the left trying to gain an insight into their minds
because a lot of us are perplexed how the Democrat
Party could devolve from a party that had a competing

(00:26):
vision on how to achieve a successful America to a
party that seemingly hates America and Western values. So in
this video, I want to show you what I think
is a brilliant explanation of why the Democrat Party has
turned into something that has hate and contempt and scorn

(00:47):
for the very people they represent. Make sure you guys
watch till the end, because I know you will get
value from this. As always, like the video and subscribe
to the channel. But let's start with hearing what I
believe to be one of the foundational issues with the
modern left.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
The Western liberal mind conceives of itself as being good
because it's liberal. The western liberal tells him or herself,
I'm a good person because I'm liberal. I'm liberal because
I'm a good person, which means that I believe in
things like the brotherhood of man, conscience and compassion, looking

(01:24):
after the wretched of the world, the poor, the wretched
of the world, standing up against abuses of power.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
These are all good things.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
And that's why I'm a liberal, and I'm a liberal
because of all these good things. So one of the
expressions of my goodness and my liberalism is that I
support the Palestinian Arabs, who I think are an oppressed people,
and they are oppressed by the Israelis who have taken
their land away from them, and they are oppressing them. Now,

(01:53):
every part of that, in my view, is a lie.
But put that to one side. This is what the
liberal progressive thinks, and the liberal progressive thinks that supporting
the Palestinians is therefore something that makes the liberal progressive
of good person. October seven happened, and suddenly you have
a situation in which the people that the liberal progressive

(02:16):
has supported as being oppressed and everything they do is
a legitimate defense or resistance against oppression. Suddenly we can
see that those people have turned into the most bloodthirsty
savages that could ever be imagined, not just people who kill,

(02:37):
but who slaughter in a sadistic, barbaric debauched and depraved
fashion that people can't imagine ever happening. They have slaughtered, raped, beheaded, tortured,

(03:00):
burned alive babies, children, women, elderly men, and others, and
in which the people that they have supported as being
oppressed to good people because they're victims, are these savages
and the people they have represented as oppressors are the victims.

(03:21):
They can't have that because if they have that, if
they admit that that is the case, then their entire
worldview is shattered because the people, you know, the cause
they have supported as representing goodness is shown to be
evil and what does that make them?

Speaker 1 (03:40):
So this is Melanie Phillips, and she's discussing why the
so called tolerant left would actually be supporting terrorist groups
like Commas. But her explanation for this one issue can
be extrapolated to explain why the left takes the crazy
positions that it does. The Left engage in their radical

(04:01):
policies because they think that they're good people doing a
good thing, and they're so invested in the goodness of
what they believe they're doing they can't accept that actual
bad outcomes can result from their actions. For instance, their
whole support of the trans for instance, their whole support

(04:22):
of the radical trans ideology. They justify it by saying,
look at this fringe group that is obviously going through something,
let's affirm their confusion because it will make them feel good,
without realizing all they're doing is sentencing that person to
a life of anxiety and depression and confusion and severe

(04:45):
mental problems. As these people daily face the internal battle
of knowing that they aren't what they're pretending to be,
so in order to alleviate this discomfort, they compel the
rest of society to adhere to the same delusional worldview,
the priority on acceptance over truth, and they have to

(05:07):
tell themselves that this is a good thing, that they're
doing the right thing. Otherwise it's hard to justify encouraging
children to take cross sex hormones, chemically castrate themselves and
undergo mutilating surgery and becoming a lifelong dependent on expensive
medicines and treatments. It's the same thing for the DEI policies.

(05:31):
They think it's coming from a place of kindness and compassion.
They see certain racial groups performing worse than others, and
they think it's automatically due to systemic injustices. So while
they're trying to alleviate the problems of the perceived racism
and discrimination, they're in fact creating a hierarchy of races,

(05:53):
attributing classifications to each race broadly, not even understanding that
they're just creating a different form of racism. Like people
think communism just started as gulags and famine and killing
people who disagreed with you. No, it starts as an idealistic,
utopian vision where everybody is equal and the world is fair.

(06:18):
But once it's put in practice, the atrocities are inevitable
due to the implementation. Now Here, she is talking about
how this inability to admit that they were wrong and
address that they might be supporting something that is objectively
bad leads to them shifting and recreating and denying reality.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
It makes them evil, So they can't have it.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
So what do they do.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
They go to extraordinary lengths to pretend that black is white,
that justice is in justice, that oppression is resistance, and
vice versa. So they have to represent the Israelis as
being at fault, are to blame for what's happened. So
there is no better way of blaming people than accusing

(07:06):
them of the very thing. They are the victim of projection. Projection,
so you accuse them of genocide. We hear it also regularly.
The Israelis are accused of being Nazis. It's the same thing.
It's not simply an offensive thing. It's a very deliberate thing,
because if the Israelis are Nazis, then.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
We are free.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
We the liberal West, are free of any kind of
guilt or any kind of association with bad things because
they are to blame. They are the people who are bad,
and so we are free to continue with our fantasies
of us being good people.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
This is another excellent point.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Look at all of the things that they said about
Donald Trump, and then look at all the things that
the Biden administration actually did. Their intentional labeling of Donald
Trump as a Nazi was just a strategy to try
to stretch the boundaries of what is good and bad.
And if they paint the other side as so viciously, horribly,

(08:08):
amrally bad, then everything that they do by comparison is better,
is more moral, is more just. Democrats put so much
pride in being the side that was morally superior, cared
about the institutions, the rule of law, the constitution, only
for their politicians to engage in the exact behavior that

(08:31):
they said Donald Trump would do. And because they can't
admit that they were wrong and that the side that
they picked are actually the bad guys, they just have
to make up labels and lobby insults to try to
paint Donald Trump as even worse than them.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
And I think that's also what lay behind these amazing
scenes that we saw on social media of people with
their hands tearing down the hostages. Now you have to
ask yourself what's going through the mind of someone like that.
These weren't posters advertising Israel, They weren't advertising the Israeli
defense forces. They were pictures of babies, of children, of

(09:13):
women who had been kidnapped by bloodthirsty monsters, by savage,
depraved savages, and were being almost certainly subjected to untold horrors.
And yet they were torn down, and the faces of
the people tearing them down were contorted very often with

(09:33):
rage and hate. And you have to ask yourself, what's
going on in the mind of that person. And it
seemed to me that they were that they were They
had to literally with their fingernails tear it out of sight.
It was something that could not be tolerated to be
in existence at all. The very concept of the Israeli

(09:55):
babies and children as victims of the people they had
been supporting, because it contradicted the narrative on which they
had hung their own moral worth.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
The Left was the side that glorified mental illness because
it was just another layer of victimhood status.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
And she'll talk about that a little later.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
But when you do something like that, and you advocate
for and accept all kinds of abnormal behaviors, it's no
surprise that you get a base that does things like
burn down cities in riots over perceived racial police brutality,
or the need to vandalize people's cars because you've labeled

(10:35):
the other side as so vile that these unhinged people
believe it is their moral obligation to engage in vandalizing
a random person's private property. You get campuses taken over
by encampments because the Left believes, because they are the
good ones, that they have a right to impose their beliefs,

(10:58):
even in a violent way, to further their cause and
get their message across. They believe because they are the
one true good and the other side is evil, that
there is no reason to have discourse or discussion or
debate with the other side. They claim that their position
is one of tolerance, but the truth is they're only

(11:21):
tolerant of things they agree with or things they believe in,
and they are very intolerant of anybody who disagrees with
them because in their mind, their intentions are pure and compassionate,
and if you disagree with that, then the foundation for
your disagreement is you're a bad person. And they feel
as if they have an obligation to not allow your dialogue,

(11:45):
your evil ideas and opinions, to even be discussed. Here's
where she gets into their main strategy of trying to
abolish truth. And this is really insightful because.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
The progressive liberal mindset has also been to invert reality.
You know, it was decades ago that the West told itself,
the West, Western intellectuals told it's told themselves that objective
truth was no more, there was no such thing as
objective truth. Anyone who believes there is such a thing

(12:18):
as absolute or objective truth is quite clearly in this
way of thinking, a complete intellectual cretin only you know,
sophisticated people know that everything is a matter of opinion.
Feelings trump facts, and if there are no such things
as there's no such thing as truth, there's a thing

(12:38):
as a lie, and consequently you cannot have a distinction
between truth and lies. It's only a matter of opinion.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
This is one of the key issues with the modern
left and their feeling of intellectual and moral superiority.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
They go to college and they.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Get exposed to all these hypothetical academic theories, and then
they start looking at the world through a lens of
what if, instead of understanding and acknowledging that there are truths,
there are facts, there is reality. Gender is fluid, borders
are racist, being obese isn't unhealthy. Western values are bad

(13:17):
and imperialistic. Like I was watching a video of somebody
trying to explain what a woman is and they said,
it's somebody who presents as a woman to society.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
Obviously the definition doesn't.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Make sense, But the bigger point is they use this
academic terminology presents as if that's a real thing. No
regular person wakes up in the morning and asks themselves
how they want to present today. No normal woman wakes
up and thinks that I'm a woman, So I can't
wait to face the onslaught of misogyny today. So maybe

(13:50):
I should dress and present like a man, and then
I will walk into rooms and be respected and given
promotions and receive all the wondrous benefits of the patriarchy.
These fake sophisticated liberals think that they're enlightened and philosophical,
when all they've done is filled their mind with utter

(14:10):
nonsense that dictates the way that they.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Interact and behave in the real world.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
So if you get rid of truth, you get rid
of rationality, and you open the way to what's what
we have developed, which is the belief that you know,
as Oprah Winfrey said to Mega Markel, you know your truth.
You have your truth. I have my truth. Well, excuse me,

(14:38):
I mean what she's what she's talking about. She's talking
about opinions, and she's talking at the worst level about
you know, lies being someone else's truth. It's it's a
mind frying kind of hijack of language that work that
that we're living through. And but going on, you know,
what have we created in the West, in the progressive West,

(15:00):
as a result of this business of you know, it's
my truth. Everything's aboutter opinion. My feelings trump facts. It's
all to do with the individual. You know, what the
individual wants, what the individual says, what the individual feels
is what is, which is what is? And that has
led to our victim culture in which I feel oppressed

(15:22):
by you, and because I feel oppressed by you, I
am oppressed by you, even though I may have been
absolutely dreadful to you and of couse you to lose
your job and all your social circle and all your prospects.
But nevertheless I'm the victim of you.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
This was the total hypocrisy with the entire transgender movement.
They complained that they were an oppressed small minority, but
yet they had the backing of Hollywood, Academia, Corporate America,
the government. They were given prime status in the left
victimhood hierarchy, affording them the privilege of making everybody around

(16:05):
them so uncomfortable, so careful to say the right thing,
because everyone knew that this person had the power to
get you fired, to get your business ruined, to get
you socially canceled. But yet they still wanted to claim victimhood.
Same for black people when it comes to dei. They

(16:25):
claim that they're systemically oppressed, but yet they were given
priority in hiring, in college admissions, in playing characters in
movies that were historically played by white people, and enforced
an ideology that if you did not include a black person,
it was because you were inherently evil and racist. This

(16:46):
cultural position influenced education, government, finance, business, But yet they
claimed victimhood at every single turn, even though you look
around the world and you see nothing but equality. We've
had a black president, there's black business.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Leaders, government leaders.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
You were taught a radical leftist theory in college, and
now you've adopted it as your worldview, and so you
feel as if you're being oppressed, So therefore your truth
states that you are oppressed. And this emphasis in prioritization
on feelings in amotional coddling led to the restriction in

(17:27):
freedom of speech in understanding and accepting truths in order
not to offend someone. Again, their mission that starts from
a position of good and compassion, at least they think
so inevitably ends up turning into some total authoritarian and
fascist implementation. Now here's the final part where she talks

(17:51):
about how this self obsession has led to the downfall
of the modern liberal.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
So it's that kind of inversion that you can do
no right because you are an oppressor group. You are white,
you are male, you are Christian, you are Western, whatever
it is, you're an oppressor group. Therefore you can do
no right. And I am black, I come from a
developing world country. I am not conventionally gendered or sexualized.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
Whatever it is.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
I define myself as a minority victim group. I can
therefore do no wrong because I'm a victim. I must
be the victim of you. Even though I have told
lies about you, I have damaged you. These are this
is irrelevant because I feel that I'm a victim.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
I am a victim.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
So you have a Western progressive mindset, which because it's
abolished truth and reason, because it's embraced hyper individual hyper
individualism and victim culture, has inverted reality.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
This ideaology of selfishness and arrogance and pretentiousness is what
leads people to think that their personal feelings or wants
or desires are the most important thing that exists. We
used to get told the world doesn't revolve around us.
Now the message from the left is the world does

(19:21):
revolve around you. And your perceived plights are real even
if they're not. I feel as if Donald Trump is
a Nazi, So even if a thirteen year old kid
brain cancer survivor has a wondrous moment, you can't stand
up and cheer for that because it's a Nazi doing it.
I feel as if Elon Musk is going to steal

(19:44):
social security, so therefore I am rationally justified in believing
he will, despite all the evidence proving otherwise. The Left
has to feel that they are the good guys, because
if they don't leave that, it's like the lady said,
their entire worldview of what they believe, of what they support,

(20:07):
will be turned upside down, and they'll be forced to
have the realization that they were supporting mutilating and chemically
castrating kids, forcing women to compete in sports with men.
Opening our borders to the entire Third World because Western
culture is bad, Allowing millions to suffer through drug trafficking

(20:29):
and human trafficking through the cartels because of our open
border policies, Protesting in favor of continued government waste and corruption,
advocating for endless war in Ukraine that is costing thousands
of people their lives every single week. Weaponization of the

(20:50):
justice system to go after an opposing political candidate, Joe
Biden preemptively pardoning his family his son after.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
He said he wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
The track record of the left is so horrendous that
these people at this point can't even open their eyes
to the reality of the situation and admit that they
were wrong, because they'll be forced to see the truth,
which is they didn't just support one bad thing, They
supported a laundry list of atrocities. Well, let me know

(21:23):
what you guys think down in the common section below.
